    God created us on purpose for His purposes.

    On Tuesday of this week, another world record was broken when the population of our planet topped 8 billion people! I’m not quite sure what baby’s birth put us over the top, or even how they count this, but it’s fair to say humankind has kept at least one of God’s commands which is to “be fruitful ...read more

Some seek it by getting married, and others by staying single. Some turn to God to find it, and others turn away. Some seek ...read more

     | 2,637 views

    We are happy to look for the lost. We are happy that Jesus, at least, is willing to venture out to find those who have strayed and to bring them home for a celebration. The problem is, at some point, many of us give up on the lost. We give up, but Jesus Goes to get you, to find the lost.

    Finding the Lost Having Words with Jesus FOURTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR C Luke 15:1-10 The Story of the Lost Sheep 15 1-3 By this time a lot of men and women of questionable reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening intently.

    A look at Romans 14 to determine what Christians can do to encourage others in the faith while growing towards Righteousness in our own lives as well.

    So often, the things that the world considers to be joy giving are in very stark contrast to the message of the gospel. It is perhaps no more clearly illustrated than in our scripture reading for today. Looking at the political world, the business world, the financial world, the world of ...read more

    There are many ways to do evangelism. The key for success is not only employing the most effective approaches, but employing the ones that best match our own individual personalities and gifts.

    If we put Jesus first, then others, and then ourselves, we will be able to spend time at his feet, learning his Word in our lives. Otherwise, we become like Martha in today’s Gospel passage: busy, but not blessed.

    It’s that time of year again… the air is cool and crisp, the days are getting shorter, the leaves are beginning to fall, and the television is full of pithy little advertising spots exhorting why I should choose one candidate over another.
